Food Truck
Do the sandwiches from this all-vegan food truck look familiar? That’s because they were featured on the cover of our Black Lives Matter magazine issue! Lettuce Feast’s hot handhelds are made with super realistic-tasting fried chicken patties that can be ordered in a wide array of spice levels. Laid between the most beautifully buttered buns you ever did see with vegan cheddar cheese, ranch, and secret sauce, each bite is bursting with flavor.
Koreatown and Sherman Oaks
What started as a food truck that served Chick’n Buckets has turned into two brick-and-mortar restaurants and a food truck with the same great Chick’n––now in many varieties. Original Herbivore’s Buffalo Chick’n Sandwich showcases their famous house-made vegan fried chicken that’s doused in buffalo sauce and layered with pickles, cheese sauce, slaw, and garlic aioli. Alongside some fries and drool-worthy dipping sauces, we can’t think of a better meal!

Reading the word “fried” is one of the most heartbreaking moments for a gluten-free foodie. Why?
